              CON-WAY INC. ANNOUNCES SENIOR MANAGEMENT CHANGES



  KEVIN C. SCHICK NAMED VICE PRESIDENT, OPERATIONAL ACCOUNTING; STEPHEN L.

 BRUFFETT JOINS COMPANY AS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER


SAN MATEO, Calif.-August 14, 2008- Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) announced today

the following changes for its corporate finance and accounting organization.



Kevin C. Schick has been named to the new position of Vice President,

Operational Accounting.  In his new role, Mr. Schick becomes responsible for

directing corporate financial reporting, business unit accounting and

regulatory financial compliance activities.  He had been the company's senior

vice president and chief financial officer.



"Kevin Schick's contributions over more than 25 years as an executive have

been instrumental to the success and financial integrity of the Con-way

organization," said Douglas W. Stotlar, Con-way's President and CEO. "His

insights and continued leadership in this new role will strengthen our

corporate governance and compliance practices, and our management of the

increasingly complex financial reporting responsibilities we face in today's

regulatory environment."



Joining Con-way as its new senior vice president and chief financial officer

is Stephen L. Bruffett. A 16-year veteran of the freight transportation

industry, Mr. Bruffett comes from YRC Worldwide, a national trucking concern,

where he was chief financial officer since late 2007.



"Stephen Bruffett is a seasoned transportation executive whose business

career has spanned leadership roles in finance, treasury, tax, mergers and

acquisitions, field operations, sales and marketing and financial planning

and analysis," said Stotlar. "He is highly respected in the financial

community and holds a well-earned reputation as a skilled manager with broad

knowledge and expertise in our industry."



A graduate of the University of Arkansas, Mr. Bruffett earned his bachelor's

degree in finance and banking in 1986. After working as a stock broker in

Dallas, he returned to school, earning his MBA from the University of Texas

in 1990.  He started his trucking industry career in 1992 as director of

Finance for American Freightways in his hometown of Harrison, Arkansas. Six

years later Mr. Bruffett was recruited into the YRC organization as director

of financial planning and analysis for the then-Yellow Freight unit. Over the

next 10 years he subsequently advanced through a series of increasingly

responsible positions at Yellow, its sister companies and the parent company

before being named YRC Worldwide's CFO last year.


Mr. Schick joined Con-way in 1983 as controller and a member of the start-up

team for the former Con-way Central Express, one of Con-way's original

regional less-than-truckload carriers. He was named vice president and

controller of Con-way Transportation Services, Inc. (CTS), now known as Con-

way Freight, in 1989, and became Con-way Inc.'s chief financial officer in

2005.  He has more than 30 years of financial experience and is a certified

public accountant. Prior to joining Con-way, Mr. Schick spent five years with

Wabash National Corporation, a trailer manufacturing concern, as its

assistant controller. He previously worked in financial planning and analysis

positions for Motorola Corporation.  A native of Chicago, Ill., Mr. Schick

holds a bachelor's degree from Marquette University and an MBA from

Northwestern University.
